HR20 - OTA Tuner

[Jimbo]

Well they do look different and are different sizes

4228

Size: 6.5 x 39.5 x 36 (L x W x H)

4228 HD

Size: 5.5 x 41 x 33 (L x W x H)

What kind of price are you finding and how far is it suppose to reach (UHF wise) ?

The tuner in the AM21 and the Hr20-700 is pretty crappy. I've been using a HR10-250 for years, and it's not known for the quality of it's tuners, but in my setup it beats the AM21 easily.

I just got the AM21 last week and had the HR10 and the HR23 running side by side with exactly the same signal. The HR23/AM21 setup broke up when the HR 10 was rock solid. The tuner in my Sammy Pn50A650 beats either hands down. Just added a HR20-700 and it's about the same as the AM21.

Your TV tuner had better be better than the others, I'd be pissed if it wasn't.

Most of the channels I would want would be out of Detroit, in conjunction with the other antenna that I have pointed at the Toledo towers.
They would be channels 2, 4 and 7 out of Detroit.
So I guess this antenna would not do well for me, Detroit is about 40-50 miles from me.
